INDEX HORACE MANN, SR. HORACE MANN, SR. 1796 May 4, Wednesday: Friend Elias Hicks surveyed the land of Thomas Titus and John Titus. Horace Mann was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, son of Thomas Mann and Rebecca Stanley Mann.1 NOBODY COULD GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT 1. (You’re to understand he wasn’t addressed as “Sr.” when born.) HDT WHAT? INDEX HORACE MANN, SR. HORACE MANN, SR. 1809 June 9, Friday: Horace Mann, Sr.’s father made his will. He left Horace enough to finance a college education, although later, in the grip of the “log cabin” school of greatness, the great Mann would assert that he had been provided only with an “example of an upright life” and a “hereditary thirst for knowledge.” – Since he was encouraging everyone to be like him and rise like him, it would hardly do to tell the truth. Carl Axel Trolle-Wachtmeister became Prime Minister for Justice of Sweden, while Lars von Engeström became Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs. Friend Stephen Wanton Gould wrote in his journal: 6th day 9 of 6 Mo // Early this morning a Packet arrived from NYork & brought the Melancholy intelligence of the Sudden departure out of time of Francis Mallone at the City of Washington he died the 4th of this Mo dropt down in the Street as he was walking to Church with his brother Senator E R Potter & died without a Struggle - My mind has through the day been much occupied on the above melancholy acct, I hope it may prove a solemn warning & help to keep me in rememberance of my final change - ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS June 20, Monday: Horace Mann’s father Thomas Mann died.

The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award Nominations were revealed today on the Emmy-winning show, “The Talk,” on CBS. “After last year’s critically successful Daytime telecast, it is with great disappointment that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announces that there will not be a broadcast of the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy ® Awards,” said Bob Mauro, President. “After months of negotiations to find show sponsorship, the NATAS Executive Board has decided that the current climate for awards shows prohibits the possibility of a telecast this year. With that said, we will be putting on a world-class awards celebration honoring the best and brightest of Daytime television and look forward to an exciting show. All efforts regarding returning the annual gala to television in 2017 are underway.” “We are especially grateful for our passionate Daytime fans and are looking forward to producing a grand gala that honors the talents and artistries of all the professionals that represent Daytime television,” said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime Emmy Awards.
